Trigger Warning: The second dead body will be mentioned throughout this chapter and the first one will be at the end. Also, there is one moment with slight sexual tension in it. If any of the above trigger you or your not comfortable with reading about it, I advise you to skip.

Ishamaru POV:
"Toko, are you ok over there? You look really pale! Want me to go get you some water?" I questioned my friend, as she stood there emotionless staring at Byakuya's dead body.

I could tell she heard me because of how her ears perked up, but she stood there, frozen in spot. Suddenly, I saw her cover her ears with her hands and let out another scream, like the one from the day before, after the motive videos were given out. Before I knew it, she had fallen over to the ground. Worried, I rushed to her side where I saw a few people gather already around her.

~Please tell me she's ok! She's my only friend here. I don't care if she says weird stuff or acts out in a strange manner, she's still very nice and a great listener. We can't have another death on our hands today, not after those two......

Thankfully, as soon as I got to her body, I noticed that she was still breathing, but her eyes were closed and it looked like she was having a nightmare, by the way she was trembling badly.

~It looks like something is making her distressed but at least she's still alive.

"Ah good! The chick is still alive!" Hagakure exclaimed.

"Heh! I'm suprised she hasn't died yet. She seems like a crybaby to me!" Mondo remarked.

"Hey, don't talk about my friend like that!" I commented.

"Really? What are you gonna do about it? Is the boss baby going to decide to do something useful today instead of bossing us around!" Mondo shot back, his mouth in a snarl.

"First, off I am not bossing anyone around. I am just trying to keep order here, while we're in this terrible situation! Second off, you have been causing so many problems today, Mondo Owada. In fact, I would send you to detention if I was your teacher." I said.

"Really? oH iM sO sCaRED! PlEasE dOn't SenD mE tHerE! I'lL dO aNYtHinG." Mondo stated. "Please, like that will scare me....Heh...."

"Y-You-" I started to say, before being pushed against a wall.

While, being pushed against the wall I realized that those pair of arms belonged to none other than Mondo Owada. He then started stepping closer to me, looking down at me with a death glare. This made me blush madly because of how close we were. While, I was trying to hide it, Mondo caught a glimpse of it, smirked, and got closer.

"So you like this don't you~" Mondo asked, stopping right in front of me (jeez I'm so sorry I just needed some Ishimondo ;-;)

"N-No-" I stuttered, my face becoming red as a tomato.

To be honest, I didn't think of Mondo as my type but now that he was so close, I could see all the little details about him (get your mind out of the gutter children), from the texture of his hair to his wrinkled jacket.

~God why am I thinking about this when two murders have happened in one day and my friend fainted because of Byakuya's dead body!

As, I was about to protest Sakura came over and told Mondo that we should be talking about the two dead bodies, instead of some meaningless conversation. Mondo just rolled his eyes at that, said a "tch" and walked out of the gym. Once he left, Kyoko cleared her throat and looked at all of us, her mouth turned down.

"Byakuya is officially dead. I can't see any breathing and hear any heart beating. Sorry to say, everyone." Kyoko told us.

"T-There has to be a way to save h-him." Makato insisted.

"Sorry darling, but Kyoko here is right. I don't see any sign of those two things either and he didn't respond when I called out to him. Guess he lost the game of life." Celestia added.

"Y-Your talking about this a-as if it was a silly g-game." Hifumi mumbled.

"Why it is though! We're all just pawns in this stupid game, aren't we? Being mind controlled to kill each other. Monokuma is right about it, y'know. The despair is overwhelming isn't it, dearie?"Celestia spoke. (No Celestia does not have a weird despair obsession.)

"Your beginning to sound like that stupid stuffed bear we have for a principal, y'know that right?" Leon retorted.

"Well, what a way to talk about your principal. I thought at least you would have some decorum after that traumatic incident. Guess I was wrong! When will you humans learn? Tch." Monokuma declared.

"B-Byakuya didn't deserve to d-die." Yasuhiro noted, as soon as he saw Monokuma rise to the podium.

"Hm? I didn't really think about killing him at first, but then I thought what's the fun in that. So I killed him! Did you all enjoy it? I just added it to the punishment system. It's the newest update." Monokuma answered back, with a huge smile on his face.

"Anyways, I don't want to bore you with all this useless talk. More talk, equals less murder. Hehehe! So basically in your digital handbooks, in order to help you solve a murder case, you are given information about the victim so you all can have fun with that." Monokuma said. "Also, you may want to help your friend over there. Not your dead friend of course but that one over there. Well, adios amigos! Have fun killing each other!"

With a final wave, Monokuma disappeared under the stage once again, and left all of us standing there, exchanging glances with one another. Soon, Kyoko suggested that we should see what the Digital Handbooks have to offer. We all agreed to that and opened them, and like Monokuma said, it had all the info about the two victims. Of course, we ignored Byakuya's since we knew how it happened and why he died

~This will defeinitley come in handy during the class trial later on. I'll show this to Toko once she gets up. Speaking of Toko, I should go check on her

Making my way over to Toko, while everyone talked about the victim's information, I knelt down and picked her up bridal style (again not a ship in this story, just friends) and carried her to my room, since I didn't know where her digital handbook is. No one seemed to notice and if they did notice, they didn't care because everyone was too caught up in the discussion of who could be the killer. For a few minutes, I walked in silence to the dorm rooms, too caught up about something to try to talk to Toko. Eventually, I found my way to my dorm, unlocked it, and layed her on the bed. Then, I made my way over to a chair in the corner, propped my arm up, and got caught up in my thoughts again.

~I'm scared....I'm scared about this whole situation....Chihiro's killer needs to burn for what they did. And Byakuya? Why him? All he wanted to do was escape. But I guess he never was able to. At least, he spoke what was nicely of him to us in his last moments of being alive.

(I know I said I would make my chapters shorter, but lately they've still been 2k words. From this chapter on, I'm going to make my chapters usually 1k words, sometimes 2k. Sorry everyone! I'm just busy in the next couple of weeks and I can't write as long of chapters as I would like to right now :{)
